Is to introduce Sufism to counter the Islamic extremist?
I think it is impossible to assimilate the Uyghurs into Han confucist culture. This is obvious.
I also think taking the current approach like monitoring, arrest, etc will take a very long time (and costly) to eliminate all the extremist Uyghurs completely. And I'm not sure if that is possible at all.
So instead of just dealing from the outside in, deal with it from the inside out. A cheap solution is to introduce a rival sect of Islam like Sufism. From my very very limited knowledge of Sufism, they are not extremists and are non-violent(?). So it may be a good idea to promote this version of Islam, fund sufi school, invite sufi teacher into Xinjiang etc.
What do you think? any Pakistani or Muslim members can enlighten us about Sufism or any other non violent Islam sect?
